Males with schizophrenia show more serious problems with language (e.g., neologisms, clangs) than do females with this disorder. Why? Because typically-developing males show delays in language learning compared to females, thus these sex differences become more pronounced when individuals have schizophrenia. Because, in males who develop schizophrenia, the language centers of the brain start to erode in the first trimester of life in utero, affecting later language development. Because males use both sides of their brain in the control of language, resulting in confused communication across brain language areas, and consequently, disruptions in speech. Because females use both sides of their brain in the control of language, making it easier for females to compensate for deficits. Which of the following is true regarding the personality disorders in DSM-5? DSM-5 has officially transitioned to a dimensional approach to personality disorder diagnosis and has abandoned the categorical approach. The DSM-5 personality disorders have been reduced to three disorders called Type A personality, Type B personality, and Type C personality. DSM-5 eliminated personality disorder diagnosis altogether due to questionable validity and ethics. The definition of personality disorder and the diagnostic criteria have been retained across DSM-IV-TR and the DSM-5. Keel and Klump conducted an extensive review of the literature to find out whether eating disorders are culture-bound syndromes. They reported that: Cross-cultural research has largely supported the hypothesis that overexposure to thin or unrealistically attractive ideals (e.g., via media/social media) is the most direct risk factor for eating disorders development. There was no documented evidence of anorexia nervosa in any part of the world until the 1970s, with the arrival of supermodels like Twiggy. High access to highly caloric food, and privacy, may have an explanatory role in why bulimia nervosa appears in regions with a dominant Western influence. There is cross-historical evidence of bulimia nervosa in Western countries as documented in case studies from the 1600s.

Correctly identify the type of personality disorder described here. Elaine has low self-esteem and usually feels empty unless she does dangerous and exciting things. She is involved in drugs and has casual sexual encounters, even with strangers. She threatens to commit suicide if her boyfriend suggests getting help or if he talks about leaving her. She alternates between passionately loving and hating him, sometimes going from one extreme to the next in a short time._______
